Rough Drafts - A Limited Magic Podcast

For my first Reality Fracture episode, I'm taking a close look at the 2-drops in the format, trying learn about different deck gameplans by categorizing the different types of 2 drops you might play.

This week I'm taking the opportunity to deep-dive on variance in Magic - why flooding is probably your fault, and how thinking about variance before you even start your draft can help.

Last week was all about my weekend as a competitor at CubeCon. This week I'm recapping my experience as a designer, talking about player feedback, play data, and upcoming cube changes.

As my Hobbit experiment draws to a close, it's time to pull the veil off The Data and compare my own card evaluation to the aggregate.

My second post-release Hobbit episode goes into my big-picture format experience without 17lands, including why I've been winning with black, why this set is so good for small games, and why this is the best Menace has ever been.

Time to recap my experience drafting the Hobbit blind - no previews, no discussion, no 17lands data. This episode mainly focuses on the topic of card evaluation.

The Hobbit is the last small set for the foreseeable future, so I'm taking the opportunity to do something cool - go into the set totally blind! This episode goes into detail on my plan and expectations for this unique experiment.

I've had a number of ideas for new cubes over the past two years, but haven't found the time, energy, or drive to actually see them through. So I'm tackling the problem head on - finishing a "first draft" of five cubes by the end of the year.
